Hey peeps

I've been having a lot of fun playing other peoples games, and I've started to notice that there are a lot of really good games that seem to have not a lot of ratings, so I'm looking for people to post games that they think are really fun and need more reviews

feel free to post other peoples games here as well as your own, for me to rate.

Also please check out my game if you have the chance, it's playable in browser and is relatively short:

/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3937439

I can't guarantee I'll be able to play all the games but I'll definitely try

Submitted

Heya, our team would love to get some feedback on our game here - we went for a puzzle platformer where you have to use your dead bodies to progress. Thank you so much!

Looks interesting I'll make sure to check it out

Submitted

I played and rated your teams game, there were many things I liked about it, I also left a comment on the submission page

Hello hello! Wanted to ask if you've played our lil detective speakeasy cat game yet? Guaranteed to have a swingin' time! :3 
It's a mystery game where you're a cat going between different worlds in a 2D-3D character landscape, with jazzy tunes to keep you company.

A Cat-astrophic Case!

 I haven't yet it looks cool, I'll definitely check it out

Thank youuu, we hope you enjoy our meow-tastic game! :3

Submitted

I played and rated the game and had a good time with it! I left a comment on the submission page

/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3931194

Submitted

Yeah I'll make sure to take a look, and don't worry about not being able to play mine I just put it out there in case people wanted to try it out

Submitted

hey I checked it out, I think you did great with the voice acting btw

(1 edit)

oh im not va just music and the attack effects etc if your talking about the elder shroom i can spread the word to the person who did it!

Submitted

I thought I saw in the credits that it said you did it, maybe I misread it

voice acting?  That was korruptid

Submitted

I do think our is a little niche. Some said it had Octodad vibes

/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3934756

Submitted

The concept sounds interesting, I'll add it to my list of games to play

Submitted

Yeah I played and rated it, it was good, left a review

Submitted

Hey, I would love to play yours. I'll link my game aswell.

/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3937254

Submitted

Hey thanks for checking mine out, I'll make sure to return the favour

Submitted

I liked your game, I rated and also made a comment

Submitted

I hope you enjoy mine!

/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3938032

Submitted

Looks fun, also dani

Submitted

hey I tried your game but it just wouldn't work for me (see comment on submission page) maybe if you can figure out why I can give it another try

Submitted

That's very strange it works with everyone else so idk what's going on

if your not able to play that's okay, I'm just glad you check it out!

Submitted

yeah I really don't know why it's not working I might try it again later

Submitted

nevermind I got it to work

Submitted

That's great!

Submitted

If you have the time I would really appreciate it if you played my game! https://0skarsavolam.itch.io/looppery

Submitted

Yeah I'll definitely try to play it if I have time, my list of games is getting kinda long but I'll see what I can do

Submitted

I rated/played it and it's really good, left a comment as well

Submitted (1 edit)

I thought these games deserved more attention:

Whisperwood
/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3936620

It Lies Unseen
/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3931298

Strife and Death (Not to be confused with Strife of Vengeance)
/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3936861

A Catastrophic Case
/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3930907

Carry On Knight
/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3937989


EDIT:

Oh yeah, my game too:
/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3937524

Submitted

Hey thanks for listing all these games, I'll look into them when I have time

Submitted

here is my game would love to hear what you think, /jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3935112

Submitted

Hey I remember seeing this one, I hadn't checked it out yet but I will now

Submitted (1 edit)

amazing thank you!! would be glad to hear some feedback when you do

Submitted

hey I played + rated your game it was really good

the only feedback I have is that one stage right after the wolves/dogs get introduced is a little hard because when you throw the guy at the button by the time you can pick them back up the wolf dog thing usually kills the guy

other than that it was all good, I also left a comment on the submission page

Submitted (1 edit)

I also decided to list some of the games I've played if anyone wants to check them out

Not all of them are super niche but I still think they deserve some love

Let us know what you think :) Rate Dying for a Raise by D'Arque for Jamsepticeye - itch.io

Submitted

Visual Novels aren't typically my go-to, but I'll make sure to check it out

Submitted

Thank you! We've already had a few comments saying the same thing but they all seemed to have really loved it!

Submitted

Hey I played and rated the game, I thought it was pretty good, also I left a comment with more details on what I liked

Submitted

Here's mine! It's a short goofy game(mostly) https://bdgamesstudio.itch.io/hired-by-death

Submitted

Yeah I'll try to play yours if I have time, and is that mar- I mean legally distinct guy with mustache and hat?

Submitted

I can neither confirm nor deny that... ;) 

Submitted

I think my game may be in that niche group! It's a  short platformer with some twists and not so ordinary puzzles:)

/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3936670

Submitted

I'll try to get to your game if I can. I still have to go through most of the games in this thread still, but I'll see if I can squeeze it in

Submitted

Hi! Here are a few of the hidden gems I've played during the jam that deserve way more reviews: /jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3934835

/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3933926

/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3933393

/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3931328

/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3936627

I will include mine too, but play the others first!

/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3936171

Submitted

these games definitely peaked my interest and they all have very little reviews, so I'll try to get them rated before some of the others on my list

Submitted

Here is my game:-

/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3935555

Submitted

I'll try to play it before the voting period ends

I'd say we have a pretty niche game, where you drive spirits of dead people to a desired location rewarding you in some way, its not finished as it is and we cut alot from the objectives because of time crunch to make it playable Charon's Cab Co. by TheTobbs 

Submitted (1 edit)

I'll check it out and the fact that it's unfinished won't affect my review, because I also had to cut content from my game because of lack of time, and I rushed making all the levels

My partner made this one and I'd say it's niche https://mattstraction.itch.io/goodbye

Submitted

yeah I'd say five reviews is pretty niche, I'll try to play it before voting ends

Submitted

My wacky phyiscs based platformer:

/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3931554#post-14445271

Submitted

judging by the screenshots, this game looks really fun, I'll try to play it

Submitted

This game's a little longer (30-40 minutes), but it uses unique mechanics so maybe that'll count for niche??

Here's my game: It's a point and click psychological horror game with a manga aesthetic, and is actually a sequel demo to the first game I ever published. Enjoy!

Submitted

even if the game isn't very niche I'll still try to check it out, and I like the visuals
